I spent a weekend a few months ago downloading album artwork files for all of my ripped CDs.

Do you know about Fetch Art for iTunes? It's a great way to get album art. I have 3861 songs in iTunes. Most are from my CD collection and the ITMS. Some of my favorite artists are the Rolling Stones, Beatles, Eric Clapton, Rush, Bob Dlyan, Police, 311, and U2. Frank Zappa and Dweezil are cool. Have you ever listened to Havin' a Bad Day? I love that album!_________________http://www.hawaiimacnuts.org

Let's try to keep statements of questionable legality out of the forums. I've seen issues with seemingly innocent statements get blown up big and trouble ensues.

95% of them are from CDs. I have around 400 of them. I don't see anything wrong with using P2P to download hard to find or obscure albums.

Besides the fact that it's illegal?

theres nothing wrong with p2p as long as you dont sell the music.

Again, illegal. Profiting off the sale of this music just makes it MORE illegal.

I also specifically said questionable content, not necesarily strictly illegal in case I'm actually wrong here, though I think I'm right. Mod, can you step in here and sort this out as I would think you would have vested interest in this turn of conversation.

The internet isn't anonymous, people. If not for your sake, then respect the site enough so that it doesn't have to deal with legal issues; it's hard enough to work a business without that. It's more about respect for this site than anything._________________Computer Engineer
